# Adding and Editing Accounts

The Account Details page provides the fields and options to create and configure an account. At a minimum, you must configure the Login Settings and Licensed Features sections of the Account Details page, when you create an account.

Then at a later time, you can edit the account information, and provide additional details for the account.
Note: Some configuration settings do not apply to MiCollab Client Stand-alone Web Client users (see table for details).

In addition, chat history is managed on this page.

## To create an account:

1. Configure the account Create Account Details(Login Settings).

   - First name: Type the first name for the account holder.
   - Middle name: Type the middle name for the account holder.
   - Last name: (Required) Type the last name for the account holder.
   - Login ID (case insensitive): (Required) Type the Login ID that the account holder will use to log in to the Desktop Client (for example, <first name_last name>). You can use upper or lower case for this field.
   - Password: (Required) Type the password that the account holder will use to log in to the Desktop Client.
   - PBX node: (Required) Select the PBX node that provides phone service to the account holder. Select [None] if the account is in Teamwork Mode and not associated with any PBX node.
     Note: A Teamwork Mode account that has a PBX Node value of [None] can be later moved to a real PBX node if they get assigned a phone on that PBX. However, an account that is assigned to a real PBX node cannot be moved back to Teamwork Mode.
   - Mailbox number: Type the extension for the account holder's mailbox extension.
   - Voice mail server: (Optional) This field can be used to override the Voice mail server field configured on the PBX Node Details page for the PBX node associated with this account. Leave this field blank if you want to use the value specified for the PBX node. This field is blank by default. The maximum length is 128 characters, and must include a valid IP address or hostname.
   - Voice mail public number: (Optional) This field can be used to override the Voice mail public number field configured on the PBX Node Details page for the PBX node associated with this account. Leave this field blank if you want to use the value specified for the PBX node. This field is blank by default. The maximum length is 32 characters.
   - Language: (Optional) Select a language from the list if you want to override the Enterprise and PBX language settings for this account. You can configure the language parameter on the Enterprise, PBX, or account level. The Enterprise language field sets the default language for all accounts on the Enterprise. The PBX language setting overrides the Enterprise setting, and the account setting overrides the PBX setting. The user's language setting determines which language the Welcome E-mail Message is generated in for that user.
   - Country: Select the country that the account holder resides in.
   - Refresh line monitors on save: MiVoice Business only. If the primary MiVoice Business was not running when MiCollab Client started, the Mitai monitors for non-resilient devices are not set. Select this option to restart the Mitai monitors and receive updated line configuration from MiVoice Business .
   - Reset dynamic statuses on save: If there are PRG/MDUG provisioning changes, including the addition or deletion of phones from PRG/MDUG, dynamic status needs to be created. Select this option to recreate dynamic statuses for this account.
     - A status reset removes all custom statuses and custom routing rules created by the end user.
     - The account language setting is used to determine which language to use for the new statuses created by the system.
     - Users need to log back into MiCollab Client after dynamic statuses have been reset.

   - Presence Privacy Configuration Settings: This setting controls whether the user's presence information (dynamic status, telephony status, video availability, and calendar advisory) is displayed to other users or not.

     Show Presence for User: This setting is only available if Presence Privacy Service is Enabled at the Enterprise level. By default the Show Presence for user setting is checked.
     - If this setting is checked, the presence information of users on local and peered servers is displayed.
     - If this setting is unchecked, no presence is shown to users on local and peered servers unless they are added in the presence allowed list of the user.
       Note: If show presence to all setting is enabled at the Enterprise level and disabled at the Account level, account setting will always take the priority over the Enterprise setting (the user's presence will be status unknown to other users).
     Limitations:

     - Presence Privacy Service is not supported in Co-located mode.

     - On peered servers, the Presence Privacy setting at the local server will be given preference. For example, if the setting on peered server A is Enabled and the setting on peered server B is Disabled, peered user's presence will be displayed based on the local server setting and not the server where the user actually exists.

     - Telephony presence status of other users does not turn off immediately. The user must re-login to the client. When user is re-logged into the client, telephony presence will turn off from corporate directory, call history, search tab, and from legacy console.

     - Video call functionality will not work for those users whose presence privacy setting is enabled.

     - In MiCollab peered server setup, if one of the server is at version lower than MiCollab 9.0, users on that server will see the presence information of all users on all the peered servers irrespective of presence feature is enabled or disabled on those servers.

     - If MiVoice Business Controller is lower than 9.0 and InAttend servers are SIP-based subscription, enabling the presence privacy setting will not impact the dynamic status and the telephony presence (presence status will not change to status unknown).
